About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

"The Dagger" is the minor deity of murder. She revels in the thrill and ecstasy of murder and loves impulsive killings as much as planned masterful murders. This illustration allowed me to play with expressions and get back to working with darker themes, which I love. Reposts are appreciated! ✨
A woman in dark leather armor with rivets and straps looms over her victim in a dimly lit stone hall. She grips a bloodied dagger in one hand and holds her opponent’s hair with the other, forcing their head down. Her face is streaked with blood, and she smiles with a cruel, triumphant expression. Behind her, cloaked figures stand in shadow, while the blood moon glows red through an archway, casting an ominous light.

GLOBAL PLASTICS TREATY : NEGOTIATIONS FAILED

Quote: 
“We have decades of evidence showing the fossil fuel and chemical industries’ playbook: deny, distract, derail. 
Fossil fuel companies are central to plastic production, as over 99% of plastics are derived from chemicals sourced from fossil fuels. Many of these companies are facing legal scrutiny over their role in the climate crisis. 
[...] Involving the very corporations that profit from harm in shaping the path forward guarantees one thing: a treaty that protects their bottom line, not the public or the planet.

Speaking of merchants of doubt, I strongly recommend the documentary Merchants of Doubt (2014) if you haven’t already seen it. Learning about how brazen the pundits-for-hire were/are will piss you off, but you’ll also be armed with the knowledge of their dirty tricks.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:

Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve
Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

This is really important. The main thing that makes it hard to achieve integrated nature and green in cities isn’t density of buildings or density of people — it's density of cars. And the more well-designed and integrated density of people & buildings you achieve, the fewer cars you need or want.

This answer that Mamdani provided in a 2020 interview shows that he has always been extremely open about the complexities of his diasporic identity and remains the perfect rebuttal to the attempted scandal the NYT is trying to create today. africasacountry.com/2020/01/roti...
“It’s definitely a complex journey because I am many different things all at once. There’s no question in my mind that I’m Ugandan. There’s no question in my mind that I’m Indian. And there’s no question in my mind that I’m a New Yorker. And I’m all of these things, yet in each of these places I’ve been made to feel that it’s not actually my home to call– in Uganda, I’m told this guy is actually Indian, in India, I’m told this guy is actually Muslim, and in New York I’m everything but a New Yorker.

But I’m realizing that it’s not a determination I should be outsourcing to others. It’s something that if I know and feel, then I need to become comfortable in asserting. Others will take time in catching up to that.”
